| Nov 30, 2018 at 22:23 | comment | added | Sylvain JULIEN | @LSpice : I guess few people would check this out : -) | |
| Nov 30, 2018 at 22:09 | comment | added | LSpice | @KConrad, but surely you would speak of, for example, Čech cohomology rather than Cech cohomology, despite 'Č' not "belong"ing to English? | |

| May 22, 2014 at 21:06 | comment | added | Dima Pasechnik | Well, I can only say that English can't be a model example of "how to spell". It's more of "how to spell so that no-one without insider info will be able to pronounce correctly". :–) | |
| May 22, 2014 at 15:18 | comment | added | KConrad | The letters Č, š, and ë don't belong to English, so that is not the practical way to spell it for a paper in English. Similarly, Chebotarev is far more common in the literature than the more accurate Chebotaryov. I've never seen the name with the ending -yov in a math book citing his famous density theorem. | |

In English, the traditional form "Chebyshev" is preferred. | |
